    Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

    I sync with my phone after every string. So I can better label what that string was. Rifle, load, suppressor, etc. Never had an issue capturing the shots or transferring the string.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

    Exactly. I change my batteries every year and they never get turned off.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red dot or not on your "life or death" pistol?

    My pistols without red dots don’t ever get shot. My carry, bedside and whatever other pistols all have dots on them. I’m not sure I will ever want to shoot a non-dot pistol again. I’m doing research to find where to send my MK23 slide to be milled so I will enjoy shooting that again.

    7prc or 300 prc

    Exac Exactly. I haven’t taken my 300 PRC to 1500 yet, but have taken it to 1k and I’m at 7.5 mils. ABQ tells me 1500 would be 14.9, which I think is too much and I’m looking forward to truing that. Using factory hornady match 225.

    Geissele SSA-E or High Speed National Match?

    I personally love the flat trigger SSA and have a dozen of them. I have a NM still in the package I’ll eventually put in my A2 but I’ve been “meaning to do that” for about a year.

    Looking for a bolt action.

    Good choice though some here will talk shit about it. I took my Aero Souls Bravo in 6.5 creed to the class with Frank and Marc last weekend and was hitting 1000 yard steel with no issues. Using an NF NX8 4-32 with the Mil-XT. You will love that rifle and scope combo man. Enjoy!

    Staccato Surprise

    I have a dozen Glocks and non-flock Glocks (zev), a couple of 1911s, Beretta M9. Decided to ease a toe into the 2011 world and got a Prodigy DS. Does well, more accurate than any of my Glocks, other than the Zev, I love it for what it is. Shot a buddies Staccato P. Now I own one too. The...

    What is the quietest suppressor for 6.5 Creedmore

    I am using an Otter Creek Hydrogen L 6.5 and it is awesome. To my ear, granted using plugs anyway, it sounds better than any of the 30 cal suppressors I've tried previously.

    Short ar....somthing i can live without

    They are super handy length wise. Imagine all of that stuff hanging on the end of a 16” barrel. There is a weight savings but comparing a fully kitted out SBR with basic 16” with only an optic isn’t a fair comparison. Taking a 3 night training class with TNVC it becomes super apparent really...

    Short ar....somthing i can live without

    I have 3 SBR 9mm, 2 MP5s and an AR9. They are all SBR'd specifically because I DON'T want higher velocity. I shoot subsonics in them all, suppressed. A longer barrel would totally defeat their purpose.

    Short ar....somthing i can live without

    I have 5 SBR ARs. 10.3" up to 12.5". The only 16" that I still shoot with any regularity is the MK12. The others sit in the safe. I haven't shot my Douglas barreled 20" in years. Everything I shoot is suppressed. If I want long range precision I grab a bolt gun. My SBRs are all used...

    Looking for a bolt action.

    I bought an Aero Solus 6.5 Creed in the KRG Bravo and honestly I love it. I love it so much that I bought a Solus action and got a Solus M24 contour .308 barrel and built that out with a KRG Bravo as well. Honestly, it's the easy button. Putting together a bolt rifle is so much easier than...

    Tripod Help

    I've used TwoVets and Leofoto. Now I have RRS. There is honestly no comparison. The Leofoto is fine for a spotter but shooting off of them isn't ideal. Side by side, it is honestly staggering how much more wobbly the Leofoto is compared to the RRS. I would get a TwoVets over the Leofoto...

    AB Quantum 3.4.4 Vector X, Max Ord, Max Ord Range, Trace & Dialed Elevation Tool.

    I am not 100% positive, but I think it retains the Elite status unless the device isn't paired with it every 30 days or something. It's been a long time since I didn't have something connecting to the app. I'm sure Doc can tell us for sure.

    New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

    No idea about the Mars, but the Maztech isn't included in ABQ yet, sadly. But the Tango includes Elite and you would get all of the functionality of that license level. Once the Maztech is pulled into ABQ I imagine it will be Elite as well. Just like the VectorX is. Here is a screenshot of...

    New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

    You don't have to subscribe to AB Pro to unlock it. You either pay a one time $300 fee, or buy a Kestrel 5700 elite or a garmin AB elite. Either of those is a one time fee. The monthly subscription cost is to unlock Pro which isn't required to go past 900 yards, just elite. If you want the...

    Hey ... it's $200

    I'm less concerned about the wait times post Jan 1 as the supply of what I might want. I've gotten 5 I think since the bill was signed simply because what I wanted was in stock.
